NOAA: Make way for seal pups

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is asking residents of coastal New England to be wary of seal pups on local beaches.

The administration recently announced that seal pupping season is under way. New England’s gray and harbor seals gave birth to pups in late winter and early spring. The administration said chances of human encounters with seal mothers and pups or lone pups are greater at this time of the year.
